Help with fried okra

[mrsdash]

Forget the breading and try this.

Sauteed Okra with Cumin

6 tb Unsalted butter -; (3/4 stick)
1 1/2 lb Okra; stemmed, washed
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly-ground black pepper
1 1/2 ts Ground cumin


Melt butter over high heat in a medium saute pan. Saute okra with all seasonings 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.

try a southern trick?

skip the breaded okra, ( after its been frozen you are going to lose the breading anyway)
place plain sliced frozzen or fresh( better fresh) okra into a tupperware bowl, add 1/2 cup corn meal mix, seasoning, salt pepper then cover with lid and shake,, fry in 3/43 inch of hot oil for about 5 to 10 min.

I cant find fresh okra (or I pronounce okree) here so I depend on the frozen sliced plain okra. I thaw it, then use martha white corn meal though. I do just what Froggy does. I find using just corn meal makes a great coating and is crunchier then just flour.

The friends I've made here in Tampa do not know what okra is......

I think that I must be the only New Englander who LOVES okra! My parents live in central Florida and they always bring the frozen, breaded okra for me when they visit. I buy the frozen sliced okra and made okra patties with it. Even my kids like it.

I've found fresh okra in our area at Winn Dixie or at roadside veggie stands.
